If that were implemented, it would be used before any reply is even read. Doubtful that it would be an improvement.

To be fair, that is neutral to positive coverage of Walmart. The actual truth is much worse.

The 2017 Dell developer edition XPS 13 with Ubuntu is actually one of the systems that gave me the most trouble, quite ironically. Bluetooth loved to disappear for no reason and would only return with a reboot. No amount of unloading/r

Windows 7 was the first version that gave me stability that made Linux feel like less of a must-have / only option. Windows 11 largely gives me no problems and has worked perfectly fine with the hardware I've thrown at it, with no

Ah, that wasn't how I read it. We agree, then!

I have no interest in making my Linux laptop look anything like macOS.

Yeah, I... don't think we're on the same page at all. Not only is "smartphones" just an example of things I no longer see as "creating value", but the value vs MP3 players and other devices at the time is also

Personally, I don't really see the point of coming into a thread while completely disregarding the context. The OP I was replying to brings the notion that money and value aren't the same thing. If someone disagrees with that prem

I think that totally discards the comment I was responding to. Needless to say, I don't agree with your definition or your idea that it's solved.

It's too bad we also can't really agree on what value is. A decade or two ago, I'd have told you the companies that are building new technologies (smartphones, streaming services, etc) were creating value. I don't think

Being French, I feel pretty well informed when I say that not a whole lot of French folks want to eat horse meat, and the numbers are dropping over time. https://www.ouest-france.fr/economie/agroalimentaire/la-vian

Maybe if you consider that the "three-act" structure is forced onto 20 and 40 minute runtime shows at precise time windows. What I'm talking about is far less visible, if at all, in adless 60-minute runtime episodes. Edit: an

I'd say at least some of these are people who take their cues from watching nature and see it work somewhat similarly for "revered" animals (eg: lions, bears, bulls, rams, etc). This is in no way an endorsement of that kind o

> I do agree that Linux should be preferred today for most people who are just starting out on computers. As someone who's used a variety of OSes (ranging from FreeBSD to Windows and macOS) on desktops and laptops, including trying

Sorry for the mini rant but... One of the things that annoy me about TV shows is that the pacing on shows that were designed for network TV with ads is so predictable you can know whenever a tense scene is going to have an interesting outco

I also love how people confidently claim something like this. FWIW, for me Linux stopped being better than Windows around Windows 7 and still isn't back.

I'd consider it ambiguous and probably clarify it like "yes you are a student, or no you are not?"

In addition to what sibling comment wrote well, there are also a bunch of games that aren't "couch-friendly" and not even available on console. I like consoles (borderline prefer them to PCs) but there are some experiences I

If your way of setting boundaries is to reply to a message with a URL, I consider you a jerk. It's got nothing to do with your boundaries.

The humpback whale and orca beef is kind of hilarious. Orcas are kind of assholes and it seems other animals care.

What preys on orcas? It seems like a bad idea.

The long shifts are the most baffling thing to me. AFAIK they're also common in law enforcement. "Hey these people make life or death decisions. You know what's going to help? Fatigue." From the outside, it just seems in

I'm a big proponent of the whole "just start with your question" thing but anytime someone replies to a "hello" with just a link to that page, they immediately come across as a jerk.

I thought common wisdom was that console hardware was sold at low profit to generate software-based revenue? If that's true, then selling software at low profit to sell hardware at low profit to sell software at high profit seems convo

How do you see it as a MLM type scheme? It seems more direct to me: either you lose to the house, or you lose to someone else while the house gets a cut. Is that second part what you see as MLMish?

Very common, at least, I'd say.

I thought so when I started at a company that had that policy but in the end we still mostly ended up with split-brain issues (eg some information is shared in both places, some in only one, some updates get lost) with the added negative th
